Fourth Floor Common Room, Evening

[svetocha_blooms]

Dru had been off island most of Saturday thanks to an unexpected phone call. She knew she'd missed the picnic and if the paperwork she'd gotten was correct, she'd also missed meeting the little sibling she'd somehow been assigned. For the moment though, Dru didn't care. She was tired, cranky, and hungry

Hoshi had been having a good day -- until she got back to her room, checked her email, and found short message from her boyfriend. She looked a bit shell-shocked when she got to the common room and crashed on the couch.

"I think I just got dumped," she said to Dru. Yes, it was a hell of a way to start a conversation.

Dru blinked and for a moment actually stopped thinking about what was in the vacuum cleaner bag in the firebox she'd brought back to her room. "Well that sucks. Sorry."

"He said he was in some sort of accident and that he's not coming back," said Hoshi. "I tried calling, but I couldn't get through, and Portalocity had absolutely nothing available to go to his time period."

"That blows," Dru replied. "Nothing available at the moment? Or nothing available ever? Maybe something will open up in a week or two?"

Sara had changed out of her traveling clothes into the sort of dress she was more likely to wear around the farm on Carlisle, well aware already that it stuck out somewhat; she'd been certain the States weren't that foreign.

And she'd certainly never been in a building this size before; exploration must perforce take place, only to be thwarted a floor up when the smell of food drew her into the common room.

"Hello," she announced to the room at large, waving one hand. "I haven't interrupted anyone's dinner, have I? Only I'm not sure how exactly we're to keep ourselves fed in this place just yet."

"You make it sound as if we're to scavenge for berries in the woods," Sara remarked with a laugh. "I don't mind doing that when I have to, but on a regular basis it would get awfully dull, don't you think?"

[svetocha_blooms]

"No berries, no wood," she shrugged. "More like wandering from common room to common room until you find one where someone's got extra food. Unless you like to cook yourself. In which case, you'll find out pretty quickly that's how you draw a crowd."
